City Centre Muscat and City Centre Qurum are set to entertain visitors this Eid Al Fitar

15-Jul-15

Muscat, Oman, 15 July 2015: City Centre Muscat and City Centre Qurum, Majid Al Futtaim’s leading lifestyle destinations in the Sultanate, will mark Eid Al Fitr with an array of fun-filled family-centric activities, entertaining performances, and extended opening hours, from July 18 to 20, 2015.

Especially for Eid celebrations, City Centre malls will offer extended opening hours, to ensure residents, and tourists can enjoy shopping, dining and entertainment, at their convenience. For the first day of Eid, Carrefour hypermarket will be open from 9am to midnight, with F&B outlets welcoming visitors from 10am to 12am, and retail outlets open for shopping from 4pm to 12am. The following two days of the Eid celebrations will see retail outlets open early, from 10am to 12am, with the mall’s normal opening hours (10am to 10pm) to resume after Eid.

Visitors can expect world-class circus themed entertainment for the whole family during a special Eid parade of amusing performances, such as stilt-walkers, performing acrobatic jokers, jugglers, and unicyclist performers. The fun interactive 30 minute show for little ones will be showing multiple times throughout the day, between 4pm and 9:30pm, with roaming candy tables offering sweets to visitors.

Wonderland Parade

Based on whimsical characters from imaginary worlds, the parade ensembles majestic stilt walkers – the King and Queen, who are protected by two fierce soldiers and led by a graceful swan. Acrobatic jesters, jugglers, and musicians complete an enchanting ambiance that is the Wonderland Parade – whilst capturing the imaginations of all.

Venetian Masquerade

Step back in time to Italy’s Baroque era. Based on the Venetian Masquerade Festival, the parade will see jugglers, stilt walkers, unicycles, sky runners, dolls and jokers wearing the most stunning Baroque costumes, intricately laden with myriad of ribbons, feathers, and flowing capes and most importantly, a bevy of bejewelled masks - a spectacular show bringing the feeling of Venetian carnival along with the amazing circus skills.

Circus Parade

Musicians, stilt walkers, acrobats and circus performers will get the attention of everybody with colourful Brazilian carnival style costumes playing samba music, while the actors are interacting and performing amazing circus skills; creating a joyful circus carnival environment.
